When a chance discovery leads her from a Welsh nursing home to a solicitor’s office in Manchester, Alice begins to unravel a story far more tangled than she imagined. It seems that finding her mother’s true identity might just expose a shocking family scandal kept quiet for decades. With the help of her friends from the Potteries Tramway Company, can Alice discover the truth of who she really is? And as winter chills the Stoke Potteries, can the women find joy to warm their hearts?
A heartwarming tale of loss, love, and second chances that fans of Katie Flynn and Annie Murray will love.
